    Summary

    His gaze sweeps down and then back up, very pointedly noting, “you’re not wearing clothing,” like he’s either trying to determine why Harry isn’t wearing clothing, or why Harry would open the door not wearing clothing.

    “Merlin, fuck, what!?” Is Harry’s rather eloquent response.

    Harry Potter: Recently orphaned, newly appointed junior lord in the Wizengamot, with no life direction and absolutely zero clue what he’s doing.

    Lord Thomas Gaunt shows up one morning at his door, asking for a favor, and Harry quickly finds that it’s not something he can easily refuse.

    Summary

    Tom Riddle kept everything that was his in a box beneath his bed: a tin soldier, a green marble, three buttons, and a red ribbon stolen from the suitcase of a girl who arrived at Wool's Orphanage on a Tuesday in November.

    She was not crying. She was the only one who never did.

    He kept her, too. He just didn't use a box for that.

    I use single quotes ‘to mark dialogue’ not “doubles”. This is a British publishing standard according to the Oxford Style Manual, and it's just my habit these days 😁

    Hope you enjoy the story!

    Summary

    "You’re tired I see, not so much bravery left in you now?" The hat grumbled, sorting through the different houses with dismissals this way and that. "Not a Ravenclaw, too much you don’t want to know for that. Not a Hufflepuff… loyalty you have Potter, in leaps and bounds but there’s a bitterness there, it will only hurt you in the future. It had better be…"

    Slytherin.

    The hat had actually placed him in Slytherin.

    The fucking audacity.

    Tom Riddle stopped in the hall way on his way out, offering a polite nod as Dumbledore passed him off to his new head of house.

    "Welcome to Slytherin Harry Potter."

    He was going to burn that fucking hat.
